Cookies and online behavioural advertising

Please see the section on Controlling my Cookies on how to adjust cookie settings for your devices.

When you create or log in to an online account, you agree to a cookie banner which provides a link to the Privacy and Cookies notice. Otherwise, by continuing to use our websites, content, products or services, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this notice.

You should be aware that when you access or use our content, products and services, we may collect information from the devices you use to receive Sky content, products and services by using cookies. We also collect such information from third party websites, mobile sites and from apps where we show our own adverts, using cookies and related ad technology.

If youd like to learn how to manage these cookies and choose whether or not to receive information of different types, please see the section Controlling My Cookies below.

Cookies are small bits of text that are downloaded to the devices you use to receive Sky content, products and services and access online information. Your browser makes these cookies available every time you visit the website again, so it can recognise you and can then tailor what you see on your device.

Cookies are an important part of the internet. They make using devices and accessing online information much smoother and affect lots of the useful features of websites. There are many different uses for cookies, but they fall into four main groups.

Cookies that are needed to provide the content, product or service you have asked for

Some cookies are essential to help your devices download or stream the information, or so you can move around websites and use their features. Without these cookies, content, products or services youve asked for cant be provided.

Here are some examples of essential cookies:

Positioning information on a smartphone screen, tablet device or other screen so that you can see the website and use its functionality.

Keeping you logged in during your visit or enabling you to stream content. Without cookies, you might have to log in on every website you visit, or repeatedly adjust your volume and viewing settings.

When you add something to the online shopping basket, cookies make sure its still there when you get to the checkout.

Some are session cookies which make it possible to navigate through the website smoothly.

Cookies allow the application or website to remember choices you make, such as your language or region, and they provide improved features.

Here are a few examples of some of the ways that cookies are used to improve your experience on our applications and websites:

Remembering your preferences and settings, including marketing preferences, such as choosing whether you wish to receive marketing information.

Remembering if youve filled in a survey, so youre not asked to do it again.

Remembering if youve been to the application or website before.

Restricting the number of times youre shown a particular advertisement. This is sometimes called frequency capping.

Showing you information thats relevant to content, products or services that you receive.

Giving you access to content provided by social-media sites like Facebook or Twitter.

Showing related article links that are relevant to the information youre looking at.

Remembering an application or website youve entered, such as weather forecasts.

We like to keep track of what websites, information and links are popular and which ones dont get used so much, to help us keep our information relevant and up to date. Its also very useful to be able to identify trends of how people navigate (find their way through) our information and when and where error messages may originate.

This group of cookies, often called analytics cookies, are used to gather this information. The information collected is grouped with the information from everyone elses cookies. We can then see the overall patterns of usage rather than any one persons activity. Analytics cookies are used to improve how an application, a website and its pages work.

Our applications, web locations, websites and communications you get from us contain small invisible images known as web beacons or pixels. These are used to manage the interaction between you and the online information or email and allow us to assess the effectiveness of the communication.

We use affiliate cookies. Some of our web based information will contain promotional links to other companies sites. If you follow one of these links and then register with or buy something from that other site, a cookie is used to tell the other site that you came from one of our sites. That other site may then pay us a small amount for the successful referral. For more information, see theInternet Advertising Bureausguide about how affiliate marketing works. Note that when you visit those other companies sites, they will have their own privacy notices which set out what personal data they collect and how they will use it.

We sell space on some of our websites, mobile sites and apps to advertisers. The resulting adverts often contain cookies and related technology that is placed by trusted third party partners who use the browsing information collected from these cookies to:

Restrict the number of times you see the same ad (frequency capping) and

Help show other advertisements that are relevant to you while youre accessing our information. This information about your browsing activity may be grouped with information about what is being accessed by other users, into interest groups, and then used to show you advertisements based on those interests. This is often called online behavioural advertising (OBA). OBA is a way of using information about your web-browsing activity, collected by using cookies, to group you with other users into interest groups and show you advertisements based on those interests.

Sometimes our websites contain advertisements for our own Sky products. These advertisements use cookies in the same way as described above. We may also use cookies and related technology on third party websites, mobile sites and apps to show you OBA ads based on data collected by those cookies.

If you want to know about data collected by third parties when you click on their adverts, you should check their privacy notices to find out what they collect, how they process it and what they use it for.

Its easy to choose not to receive behavioural advertising and manage your cookies, if you want to.

How can I see and manage my cookies in my browser?

Virtually all modern browsers allow you to see what cookies youve got, and to clear them individually or clear all of them. To find out how to do this, go , which contains comprehensive information on how to do this on a wide variety of desktop browsers.

How can I choose not to receive Online Behavioural Advertising and other tracking cookies?

In addition to the controls available on your computer, there are other ways of choosing not to receive Online Behavioural Advertising and other tracking cookies.

Please note that most of these choices work by setting a cookie that overrides the behavioural advertising cookie. If you clear all your cookies, you will also clear these opt-out cookies, therefore changing your preferences. In this instance you would need to choose again.
